Definitely a good eye, but I wouldn't put too much stock in the accuracy of this image. Plus, the iMac doesn't look like the newest model...
I'm guessing it's "for illustration purposes only".

I just got word from a reliable source!
He could not say in depth but he said wait a "tiny bit"
I'm guessing next week for the new MB.
but I'm holding off for the new MBP.
When ever that might be, I'm guessing shortly after.

Just a little bit better than "I heard" or "Someone told me"
So... my friend works at Apple.
I ordered a Macbook a few days ago because I wanted to hop on the free nano bandwagon before the offer ended while getting Leopard as a factory install, shortly afterwards people were beginning to suggest that there'd be hardware updates on tuesday. So I bit the bullet and called to cancel the order. I told the person I talked to that I was cancelling to wait for the newer models that were coming out. They hadn't been able to properly get the cancellation through for a few days;
A couple of hours ago they emailed me to say that my original order was canceled, and I should feel free to order again "once the newer CPU models are released". I don't know if you guys would read too much into it, but I thought it was a pretty strong indication that something's on the way...

I keep expecting the MacBook page at Apple.com to update and say they come with Leopard pre-installed, not just Tiger and a disc for Leopard. As of right now they do not even sell a laptop with Leopard as its native OS. This is no mistake, I think they would have updated it by now if a new one was not right around the corner.
I just got off the phone with MultiMedia and he sayes, "NOVEMBER 6, YOU ******* ******** *****ing ***** ***** ******ers!!!"

If it does not happen by November 19 its not gonna happen this year...apparently according to another website...So that is a maximum of 19 aggravating days for everyone waiting for a macbook and it could all end in tears if apple don't bother till next year
Please let be on the 6th.

Well, it has an Apple employee's name and email address on it, so I don't think that would really be fair. In any case, me posting a picture of an email I'd claimed to recieve is hardly cast-iron proof of anything; what with technology and all that. I'm not trying to kick the rumour mill into high gear or anything; just throwing in my two cents.

Fine by me. I'm planning on buying a new MacBook this year regardless of whether the line sees an update or not but wanted to wait a couple weeks after Leopard's release to allow some time for any major bugs to be addressed. So, mid-November sounds fine by me - if there is a new MacBook, I'll order it, if not, I'll order the current model.

Sorry I've never heard of Apple EVER doing something like that.I call fake until it can be proved.

I am pretty sure you could black out the name and email address.....
My humble opinion old chap, is that the new Macbook line will be released upon the morn of the sixth of November, a most grandeous and noble of days for Apple Inc.
Or they said that because you told THEM you wanted to cancel and wait for a newer model that would come out soon. So they say back, based on your reason for cancelling, "ok, please feel free to order again once a new model comes out". Meaning, don't buy a pc, buy an Apple model whether it comes out in a week or if it comes out in 6 years."
For a glorious victory of Apple, they will have to release the new MacBooks really soon. If they do that, victory will be theirs.
Now that sounds good, huh.
Okay. Let's all be [somewhat] real with ourselves. An update is imminent, and we don't know when. The big question should be whether it's going to be a new case design, or just a speedbump. If it was just a speedbump, a lot more people would throw in the "who cares" towel and just purchase one. I want reports, and potentially pictures that the next update will change the case design.

Remember, remember the Sixth of November,
The MacBook Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason why MacBook Treason should ever be forgot.
Steve Jobs, Steve Jobs, t'was his intent to blow up Bill Gates and Microsoft.
Three-score barrels of powder below to prove old Microsoft's overthrow;
By God's providence he was catch'd with a new MacBookPro and press release.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!

Maybe you're right. I did tell the guy that I was waiting for a newer model. I had tried to cancel on friday, the cancellation wouldn't go through on their machines, so they put some kind of block on the order so it wouldn't be shipped, then submitted a cancel request to the department that deals with cancellations. They said they'd email when it was properly cancelled and the email came through about an hour ago. This is it:
sourceIf Apple were to release new MacBooks on Tuesday November 6, the days between revisions would be 175 days or 7 days below their historical days between revisions average of 182 days. See table below:
Note that by simply relying on the historical average it would imply that the MacBook should see a revision within the next two weeks. When taken in conjunction with the MacBook Pro analysis below, it more likely that Apple will release new MacBooks within the next week.
